Guerbet conducted a non-interventional post-marketing surveillance study on its Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agent Dotarem (gadoteric acid/gadoterate meglumine) from September 2011 to December 2013. The aim of this study, which was conducted in accordance with section 67, paragraph 6 of the German drug regulation, Arzneimittelgesetz, was to generate additional data on the diagnostic efficacy, reliability and safety of Dotarem in Magnetic Resonance (MR) mammography.
